Zinnos ZNC-401 Universal NMEA 0183 Converter
The Universal NMEA Converter, ZNC-401 converts various synchro, step, analog format signal into NMEA-0183 (IEC-61162-1) standard. This is very useful for interfacing most kinds of Gyrocompass, Anemometer, Speed Log, Rudder used in the worldwide with VDR (Voyage Data Recorder), AIS (Automatic Identification System), ECDIS (Electronic chart Display and Information
System).
This ZNC-401 Universal NMEA Converter can accept variety analog signals such 1/36/90/360:1 synchro signal, 180:1 step signal, DC ±5/10V or DC4~20mA signal, pulse or dry contact signal. This is designed to consider accuracy and stability, and can be used for core part of Anemometer, Rudder and etc.
All information is displayed in large 8 char x 2 Line LCD and there are 8 level dimmer and contrast control.
Size: 176 x 63 x 210mm
Weight: Appr. 1.4kg.
